It's going to be interesting to see if this expansion is enough to get the Defender into the meta.

I see a lot of "they are going to be so OP" here on the forums, but I always take comments like that with a truckload of salt. The same people (probably) said the same thing about the TIE Advanced fix, which made Vader competitive but not enough to bring any generics to the top tables. And Vader has a pilot ability that is so much stronger than any Defender pilot.

Vessery will be an absolute monster. Whether /X7 or /D.
